This 18-Year-Old With Down Syndrome Just Won Model of the Year, and This Is Why

"It's amazing that the fashion industry has taken Madeline in, and it's given us the chance to spread the idea of inclusion. I've found the fashion industry amazing. I mean, everyone told me it was heartless, but every single person that we've worked with is amazing, absolutely beautiful, has been excited to see Madeline, and has treated her like a princess . . . People treat her like she's a movie star. We're just average people. Madeline loves modeling, she loves getting dressed up, she loves getting her hair and makeup done, she loves being on the catwalk more than anything on the planet."
